Chapter 3
Like Zoinks
Okay Chapter 3, I could not think of a name for my chapter, so I just named it "Like Zoinks"
It took the gang 10 minutes to get to Black Gulch, once there they went over to the hotel.
"Ah, Shaggy. You can let go now," Velma told Shaggy, when they got to the hotel. Since Shaggy was riding on the back of Velma's horse he had to have his arm around her waist, so he didn't fall off. "Oh, sorry," he replied, turning a very light shade of red.
They all got off their horses, and tied them up out the front of the hotel and went in. They then went up to the desk and rang the bell.
"I wonder if this place is really deserted, or there are still people living here," said Velma, while looking around the place.
"Well when the mayor leaves, I would say that most of the town's people would have left too," replied Daphne, spying a mirror on the wall.
"Well no one seems to be coming. The keys for all the rooms seem to be here," put in Fred.
"Do you think if we solve the mystery here, we will get sent back to our time," asked Daphne.
"I don't know. I hope so," replied Fred.
"Like let's go find the Pizza parlour," Said Shaggy, starting to head for the front door.
"Reah."
"Don't be silly you two, they didn't have pizza parlours back then, errr... I mean now. The only place you could buy food was the general store," Velma told them.
"Well let's go there and check it out then" replied Shaggy. "Not so fast Shagg," Velma told him, while grabbing him by the arm, and pulling him back.
"Does anyone know what time it is," asked Fred.
"Let me check my Mobile, oh. I forgot I haven't got my purse. Jeepers...", cried Daphne.
"What," asked Fred.
"I haven't got my makeup kit. I'm going to look like a total wreck tomorrow," replied Daphne, running over to the mirror that she had seen earlier on the wall, and making sure she still looked pretty.
"Daphne we have more important things to worry about then that right now," replied Velma, letting go of Shaggy, and now dragging Daphne away from the mirror.
"Well I'd say it's about 5:00, 5:30 right now, so that mean it will start getting dark soon. And since no one seem to be here, we might as well help ourselves to some rooms, what would you guys prefer everyone having their own room, or girls one room, boys another," asked Fred.
"I think, I like the girls one room Idea," replied Daphne. Velma had let go of her by now.
"Like, Count us in, for boys one room," put is Shaggy.
"Okay, Well I am going to take room 7, for us guys," Said Fred taking the key for room 7.
"We will take room 9," Velma said, also taking the key for room 9.
"Okay, now that that's settled, lets go and check out the old fort," Said Fred heading for the door.
"Rot about rood," asked Scooby.
"Like, yeah man, I'm starved," put in Shaggy.
"Well when we get back, we can go check out the general store," replied Fred.
"I was afraid he would say that."
"Reah."
So the gang headed of to the fort, it was at the other end of town, and about a 20 minute walk from their end of the town.
So they had to walk through town to get to it. The town was not very big. It consisted of a General Store, Saloon, and telegraph/post office. There was also a Sheriff office, and the hotel they were staying at, and a few houses, all which looked abandoned.
After about 25 minutes they got to the old fort, the front door still had '9th calvary brigade' written on it.
"Like, this place is enough to give a guy the creeps," said Shaggy, when he saw just how spooky the place was.
"Reah, reepy" put in Scooby.
"Do you have to say it like that," asked Shaggy.
"Reepy, Reepy, Reepy", teased Scooby.
"Like, quite it Scoob." said Shaggy.
"Will you clowns stop clowning around," Velma told them.
"Here Shagg, give me a hand with the door," asked Fred.
"Like, no way man, I'm not going in there," replied Shaggy.
"Oh, you big chicken, here Fred. Let me give you a hand", Velma told him, and together they pushed open the two big wooden doors.
Well there is chapter 3, hoped you enjoyed it. *been edited*
